Ex-F1 Designer Gascoyne Working with Dragon Racing

Dragon Racing has engaged former Formula 1 designer Mike Gascoyne’s company MGI Consultancy as a design resource advisor for Season Five of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship.

E-racing365 can reveal that MGI Consultancy is working with Dragon chief technical officer Nicolas Maduit on certain aspects of the Penske EV-3, which will race in the 2018-19 Formula E season.

Work is currently being carried out at MGI’s base near Oxford, UK, and is being communicated between Dragon’s day-to-day assembly base at Donington Park and Maduit’s growing design and development office in California.

MGI has had one of its engineers working with the team at races this season.

Former Team Aguri engineer Joao Correira worked with Neel Jani while deputizing for experienced former F1 and CART technical director Andy Brown in Hong Kong.
